When Google innovates, it’s usually in a vein attempt to kill competitors in a place where it sees an opportunity for more revenue. Competition from Google is hardly ever fair (despite most of their projects being spectacular failures regardless.)
So no it’s not impossible, but it’s always gonna happen when it’s Google/Amazon and the “innovation” is a free alternative to a successful independent business.
- ajross 8y ago> When Google innovates, it’s usually in a vein attempt to kill competitors in a place where it sees an opportunity for more revenue Isn't that how everyone innovates? (FWIW: you meant "vain", I think, but that doesn't seem like the right word either. Maybe "arrogant" was the spin you wanted?)
- lokedhs 8y agoVain seems like an appropriate word to use, when interpretated as "producing no result; useless" That is, after all, the end result of many of Google's attempts at dominating a space. Their love of shutting services down will likely make further future dominations of new fields even harder.
